Fret no more! I’ve compiled a list of various options to ring in the new year, whether you’re looking for a big bash or a quiet affair.

WFPK celebrates their tenth in style [Music]

Yesterday WFPK radio celebrated ten years hosting their Wednesday summer concert series to a packed house.

Wednesday saw the Waterfront jam packed with concert goers as WFPK radio in conjunction with Waterfront Development Corporation and Friends of the Waterfront held their 10th anniversary concert on the breezy evening. 

The event drew countless Kentuckians as parking lots and street parking yielded few spots. Inside vendors offered food and fun for all ages.

For ten years now WFPK’s summer concert series has offered a place for new music lovers to meet and congregate around the common interest of free concerts.

The Great Steamboat Race and Waterfront Wednesday taking place tonight on the river [News]

The Great Steamboat Race has only been rescheduled a few times since racing began in 1963.

This evening, the historic Belle of Louisville will be racing the Belle of Cincinnati on the mighty Ohio River beginning at 6 p.m.

Ben Sollee brings the passion and people out for “Rock ‘n’ Stroll” [Music]

Rock 'n' Stroll is in the books with David Mead and Ben Sollee drawing a huge crowd for a summer night concert at Iroquois Amphitheater.

In a world where federal funding for public radio is shrinking, the number of people who support Louisville’s public radio stations (or maybe Ben Sollee) seem to be just the opposite. This past Saturday night hundreds, if not thousands, flocked to Iroquois Amphitheater for the “Rock ‘n‘ Roll Stroll” event that benefited all Louisville public radio.

Lucinda Williams tomorrow at the Brown [Music]

Lucinda Williams, singer of the human heartbreak, plays the Brown tomorrow, April 22. Bring on the draft beer and kleenex--it's Friday night!

There are times when pop just won’t do. You need a raw sound to swoon, cry, or slow-dance in the kitchen to. You need a song that expresses the emotions you can’t seem to sort out on your own. Guitars and vocals that bleed, slow the pulse, and furrow the brow because yeah, I’ve been there. Grammy-award-winning artist Lucinda Williams has mastered these intense, bluesy, chest-clutching songs. She is an artist in every essence of the word--transcending us to naked emotion, stripping us of the spinning world and encouraging us to just feel.
